A beautiful and gripping wartime story about family secrets and
impossible choices in the face of terrible hardship that is perfect
for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz. When Karen Cartwright is
unexpectedly called home to nurse her ailing father, she goes with
a heavy heart. The house she grew up in feels haunted by the memory
of her father's closely guarded secrets about her beautiful mother
Elizabeth's tragic death years before. As she packs up the house,
Karen discovers an old photograph and a stranger's tattered love
letter to her mother postmarked from Germany after the war. During
her life, Karen struggled to understand her shy, fearful mother,
but now she is realising there was so much more to Elizabeth than
she knew. For one thing, her name wasn't even Elizabeth, and her
harrowing story begins long before Karen was born. It's 1941 in
Nazi-occupied Berlin, and a young Jewish woman called Liese is
being forced to wear a yellow star...
